John is the third son of Rosetta Schmutz and Alma Moroni Hunt and born on Christmas Day.
He was always a cattleman. He married Annie Belle Lazear December 25, 1905 in Pine, Arizona. They moved into a one-room log cabin that his Uncle George Hunt built.
They had seven children. Even as the cabin grew to make room for their seven children, the Hunts treked every summer to Hardcrabble Mesa to work on their homestead. This white house was their life-long home. Indoor plumbing came to Pine in the mid 1920s. Electric power became a fact after World War II.
